Chief among fan theories is the idea that Bieber’s marriage of six years isin trouble, and that thesingeris looking for a way toget divorcedand not deal with his responsibilities.

“Maybe he wants a divorce and doesn’t want to deal with Hailey’s dad?” one user stated. “’That way he doesn’t have todeal with himwhen the divorce happens.”

“Things are getting spicy… it is now Instagram official,” another said.

Others instead think Bieber is looking to reduce his social media presence, as they believe he’s dealing withpersonal problemsand under a great deal ofpsychological stress.

“You’re a father. This is not your way,” they said.

Neutral netizens criticized fans for what they labeled an “unhealthy fixation” on the singer’s personal life

More neutral netizens, on the other hand, reacted with exasperation at what they considered an unhealthy fixation of a segment of Bieber’s fanbase surrounding his private life.

“How jobless do you have to be to notice this?” one reader asked. “They are literally in Aspen together right now, y’all can relax on the Biebers.”

Others defended the singer’s photos smoking the herb, pointing out how its usage is allowed in Colorado, and that it’s entirely within his right to partake in whichever legal substances he wants.

“I think it’s hilarious that it is entirely normal for people to post photos of them drinking and everyone just giggles and thinks it’s hilarious because they relate,” one user wrote. “Yet a guy can’t smoke a legal substance without it being a problem.”

Some fans dismissed the divorce theory, pointing out how the couple has shown nothing but support for each other in recent weeks

The more positive segment of Bieber’s fanbase dismissed the divorce claims as baseless speculation, pointing out how the couple have been sharing nothing but positive things about each other on social media recently.

For instance, the singer uploaded an Instagram story last Saturday (January 18), where he gushed about his wife, calling her “the greatest woman I have and will ever know.”

“Someone went on my account and unfollowed my wife. S**t is getting suss out here,” he wrote on astoryon his Instagram.

While his message squashed one side of the rumors, it also fueled even more speculation, now surrounding the reasons as to why someone would’ve entered his account and unfollowed his wife.

Bieber has taken the chance to tease a yet unreleased and unnamed new single. The track was briefly featured in a video on Bieber’s Instagram, in a story where he and his wife Hailey were seen driving while listening to it.

The story quickly sparked speculation about a new album.
